STD::TR2::DYNAMIC_BITSET_REFERENCE(3)

💖 NAME 💖

std::tr2::dynamic_bitset< _WordT, _Alloc >::reference — bestie, we're in the Library Functions Manual, section 3, and this is the lil' diva that pretends to be one single bit ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <dynamic_bitset>

🌸 Public Member Functions 🌸

• reference (dynamic_bitset &__b, size_type __pos) noexcept — build a brand new proxy pointing at bit __pos of bitset __b, no exceptions thrown, we stay calm 💅
• reference & flip () noexcept — flip that bit and hand the reference right back to you, noexcept the whole way 🔥
• operator bool () const noexcept — the glow-up into a real bool, automatic, no drama, noexcept
• reference & operator= (bool __x) noexcept — assign a bool in, get the reference back out, noexcept
• reference & operator= (const reference &__j) noexcept — copy-assign from another reference, again returning *this, again noexcept
• bool operator~ () const noexcept — the flipped value of the bit as a plain bool, const, noexcept

🦋 Friends 🦋

• class dynamic_bitset — yeah it's friends with the whole class, they're close like that 🫶

✨ DETAILED DESCRIPTION ✨

template<typename _WordT = unsigned long long, typename _Alloc = std::allocator<_WordT>>
class std::tr2::dynamic_bitset< _WordT, _Alloc >::reference

okay so this class is literally a whole entire concept of a single bit. One bit!! An instance of it is a proxy for an actual bit — a stand-in, a body double, main character energy for a 0 or a 1 👑

and why would you even do that? because this way the individual bit operations get done as faster word-size bitwise instructions ⚡ it's giving efficiency, it's giving clever, we love her.

most users will never need to touch this class directly. no cap. the conversions to and from bool are automatic and should be totally transparent — you won't even notice she's there. the overloaded operators are doing the work to keep the illusion alive, like a tiny bit of stage magic 🧚

(On a typical system, this "bit %reference" is 64 times the size of an actual bit. Ha.) 💀

like... 64x. for one bit. not me crying over the overhead 🙈 iconic behaviour honestly.
